Remington Express Scope — Common Issues and Fixes

The included 4×32 scope has known limitations. Owners report that the scope can be blurry at full magnification. A simple fix solves this problem. Unscrew the objective lens end cap and rotate the plastic lens housing. Adjust it while looking through the scope until the image sharpens . This adjusts the factory parallax setting for closer ranges . The scope turret markings can also cause confusion. One owner attached their scope with the windage turret on top. They corrected this by rotating the scope 90 degrees . For best results, many owners retire the included scope and mounts. They fit quality 13mm mounts and a better optic instead.
